My step mom always told me to keep playing cards on you when you're walking in the woods. If you get lost, sit down and start playing solitaire and someone will come along and tell you what move you just missed.

me coming back to this video in 2020: How did the people who made the bug-out bag know about the sacred item???

I like to imagine Brian sitting on a log next to a makeshift tent while staring at the ground and gruffly saying something like “It’s been 18 days since the asteroid hit...” and then Jason is just 10 yards away dancing to a Spanish radio station while blowing a whistle and waving a mirror around in front of a flashlight so it acts like a disco ball.

pulls out masks "that's a dark thing to think about" little did they know

What about a video where you each get x amount of dollars to go to the store and buy equipment for an overnight camp somewhere? Allow yourselves a few basic items like a knife, bag and tarp then buy the rest?

"Day 75. Still alive. Not sure how happy I am about that."

Urban survival aesthetic is just guys in hoodies with cargo pants sitting in lawn chairs around a bonfire on top of a skyscraper. At least in my mind.

A bag of face masks and toilet paper is a pretty sensitive topic right now but that bug out bag maker really been prepared.

You two are living proof that if you are willing to put out quality content on youtube you can become successful

those "scissors" appear to be safety shears, they'll go through a seat belt, and the weird thing on the end is so that you can safely slide them along a person without cutting them, great for removing a piece of clothing if necessary to clean a wound, actually cutting through a seat belt, etc. It seems pretty important for an urban survival bag.

“Aaaaw it smells so gross!” takes bite “Mehhh it’s not so bad”

Mar 22 2020: toilet paper is the most necessary of all items

In the immortal words of Bill Burr "It doesn't matter how much zuchinni you can grow, if you don't have a gun you're just making food for the toughest guy on the block."

I would definitely include a copy of "Pocket Reference". I found this gem for $10 at harbor freight. It has everything ..period. But worth note are knot tying, sewing, basic construction, electrical, chemistry. It's like a pocket wikipedia of only practical information.

Things I feel that could be added: fire starter/flint/lighter etc/matches Something to sanitize- like hydrogen peroxide. A physical map of your area. A big sharpie marker. Dental tools. A cold weather/knit hat Bandannas - or other small fabric squares. Dental floss. (Useful for so many things) Shoe laces. A serrated wire saw. Fishing line. (If room- a fishing net, hooks, etc) Gorilla Glue (takes up less room than duct tape- though duct tape is honestly more useful). Murphy’s idea of the hatchet is good- though a large knife works well too, and isn’t as heavy. Sunscreen / bug spray Also- not In the bag, but good to have- durable pants, heavy duty hiking boots, and thick socks.

I'm kinda bummed there were no follow up episode with Brian spending the night in the woods or something

It's funny, because that song on the radio was saying "i'm already becoming desperate" in spanish

The real cool thing for this episode is the realization that Brian has had the same iphone background for years.

I think an episode where you guys are actually dropped into survival situations with bug out bags and then measure your performance against eachother would be cool.
